Standing Without iPology
Tim Challies is on board with Apple now, and he "iPologizes" for his rejection of Macs in the past. No apologies here. I haven't been arrogant about Macs, just truthful. On the other hand, I must admit that I am tiring somewhat of having to run my most important program, BibleWorks, in a separate operating system. Will someone please write a version of BibleWorks for OS X and send it to me? I'll pay. Thanks!
Nelson Electronic Library Logos Package Advice
Mr. Ward, I saw your demo in Dr. Olinger's class for Logos. I came across this page on eBay and was wondering of you had any advice on it.

You don't want to write a dissertation, for example, by reading all of your sources piecemeal the way electronic books...
Radio Lab: A This American Life Alternative
Before I got married I used to spend a bit more time listening to MP3s... There's been a marked drop-off in my listening time. Why would I want to listen to anything other than the sweet voice of my beautiful wife? But if she and I ever do take time to listen to MP3s on car trips or while getting ready in the morning, I keep a stock at hand. One podcast of an NPR radio show has become a favorite of ours: Radio Lab. Hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich take an entertaining, thoughtful, and...
Pauline Theology
A new feminist wave has hit theological scholarship. It's called "Pauline Theology." Scholars who hold this view are especially incensed at Paul's discrimination against women. Women can't be pastors; they can't even speak in church. And it's all Paul's fault. So it appears these scholars have chosen an anti-Paul, a fictitious female church leader of the first century whom they have named "Pauline." Apparently the "Priscilla Papers" weren't enough for these hyper-egalitarians, these Pauline...
